Main

Jesica Formoso

I am a tenured Researcher at Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), working at the Interdisciplinary Center for Research in Mathematical and Experimental Psychology Dr. Horacio J.A. Rimoldi (CIIPME). My work focuses on understanding the development of mathematical skills in children. I am passionate about teaching and mentoring, particularly in fostering the adoption of open, reproducible data analysis practices among researchers. I actively participate in diverse international teaching and programming communities, where I contribute to open-source initiatives and promote inclusive practices, especially in Latin America.
